Political Bodies: An Introduction
Montreal, QC, CANADA - The bodies of minorities experiencing freedom and joy evokes a power that’s difficult to put words to. Such a fundamental piece of the human experience being innately political is, and has been, a call to action. This piece is thrilling and had me glued to the screen beginning to end with choreography that celebrates each individual dancer’s strengths and identity. It also got my head BOPPING.
by side by
Boston, MA/New York, NY, USA - Adversity continues to breed innovation. While this piece may have originally been planned for the stage, it breathes so easily in it’s virtual form that I can’t imagine it any other way. Press play and lose yourself in this perfect marriage of movement, music, and cloudy vista.
The Tap Rebels
Atlanta, GA, USA - Tap is a performance style that verges on 4-dimensional. When experienced live, the sound waves shake through your body with urgency, making it the perfect style to supplement this call to action from The Tap Rebels. I hope we all feel the global movement for racial justice deep in our bones, and that we continue to unapologetically carry it with us until the work is done. Black Lives Matter.
Die Geisterhand
Brussels, BELGIUM (and greater Europe) - This collaborative dance piece contains submissions from Artists throughout Europe, exploring the relationship between head and hand. Like the extension of a cell returning to it’s nucleus, much of this movement feels like the physical embodiment of metacognition. Hit the full screen option and relax into the grounding relationship between mind and body.
The Importance of Art in the Time of Coronavirus
Toronto, CANADA - Art directly dealing with our current reality is hard to face, I’m dreading the inevitable coming-of-age series titled something akin to “Quaranteens”, but this piece does so beautifully. Seeing artists dance ‘together’ in private spaces, set to stunning music and poignant narration, is sure to stir deeply.
documentaire sur l'environnement
Goma City, Democratic Republic of the Congo - This exquisite dance video submitted by dancer/choreographer Mboko Lopiki places us in the “boxing ring” that is the fight against global warming and nuclear power.

Ageless Dancers
Saratoga Springs, NEW YORK - These three photos from photographer Betti Francheschi’s series Ageless Dancers captures the beauty of movement and the human form. These photos are striking and inspiring, which is not surprising given the decades of experience she has working with New York City dancers.
